Assessing the effect of green credit on risk-taking of commercial banks in China: Further analysis on the two-way Granger causality

Green credit is a new financial instrument that has emerged in response to the call for the transformation of the “green economy" model. It aims to utilize financial means to support green industries and environmental projects, serving as a crucial lever for the integration of social and economic benefits. It also represents a significant developmental direction for the future credit business of banks. Leveraging microdata from 36 banks spanning the years 2007–2022, this study explores the correlation between green credit and the risk-taking behavior of commercial banks in China, building upon the DID model. Meanwhile, Granger causality tests are employed to investigate the bidirectional relationship between these two core objects. The research results indicate that green credit has a short-term mitigating effect on the risk-taking behavior of commercial banks. This risk-mitigating effect is more pronounced among banks with smaller assets and lower profitability. However, this effect diminishes over time, ultimately resulting in an increased propensity for risk-taking in the long run. Moreover, this highlight posits that the credit risks of banks do not influence the implementation of green credit policies. Consequently, this paper offers essential reference value for the risk management practices of commercial banks in the emerging economies and other global countries.

Concept and practice of marketing glamping as an eco-friendly tourism product

The article updates the application of a marketing approach in the glamping industry to maximize the use of all the opportunities that this environmental innovation provides for solving economic and social problems. The purpose of the study is to formulate the foundations of the conceptual model of glamping marketing as a type of marketing management in the service sector, combining, on the basis of the principle of complementarity, on the one side, the realization of the needs and motives (rational, emotional, mental) of clients in active leisure and on the other side, green, cultural, economic development of territories into a single synergetic process of creating socially significant products that combine the characteristics of tradition and modernity. In their study, the authors rely on the results of an analysis of the Russian glamping market and note the increased interest of consumers in the new format of the tourism product. The glamping industry can bring quick profits, but less long-term results combined with a weak social effect. The scientific novelty of the research is as follows: based on clarifying the characteristics of marketing in the glamping industry, the term “glamping marketing” was proposed and justified, which, despite its industry nature, can become the basis for the creation of other innovative products of the green industry; the relationship between green marketing, territorial marketing and glamping marketing has been identified; the elements of the service package were adapted to the glamping industry and an algorithm for its strategic marketing management was proposed, based on the logic of strategic management and technological entrepreneurship.

Transition to biocomposites in conditions of city urbanization

With the rapid urbanization of cities, there is an increase in urban tree pruning waste, which increases the cost of their disposal. The trend of a circular economy and environmental friendliness of the urban environment dictates the need to find more effective ways to use them. The article examines the possibility of using crushed waste from fast-growing urban trees, in particular poplar, as a filler for the production of biocomposites based on polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB). To improve the performance properties of poplar wood flour, a technology for its thermal modification has been proposed, which makes it possible to neutralize such disadvantages as low strength and high hydrophilicity, characteristic of fast-growing wood. The physicomechanical and sorption properties of three types of biocomposite samples made with natural pine flour, natural and thermally modified poplar flour were analyzed. Pine wood has been chosen as a filler often used in industry for wood-polymer composite materials. It has been established that thermal modification of poplar flour provides an increase in the tensile strength of biocomposite samples by 19 %, in bending by 7.9 % and reduces water absorption by 50 % relative to samples with untreated wood. In many cases, the use of thermally treated poplar flour is comparable to the quality of a biocomposite based on pine flour. This indicates the feasibility of recycling urban tree trimming waste for the industrial production of biocomposites, which will improve the environmental friendliness of the urban environment with the simultaneous development of a green industry.

Disclosure of CO2 emissions, community complaints, occupational safety and its relation to financial distress

The Indonesian government is committed to resolving emission issues through the development of green industries. The government encourages industries to transform into sustainable industries that are environmentally friendly. The Indonesian government asks the public and the market to put pressure on the industry to improve its environmental performance. The public can monitor and pressure companies through the disclosure of environmental performance information such as disclosure of CO2 emissions. In addition to environmental performance, disclosure of corporate social performance is no less important. Social performance relates to the company’s responsibility towards employees (work accidents) and the surrounding community (community complaints). The risk of companies that have poor environmental performance and social performance can result in the company experiencing financial distress. This study aims to examine the effect of disclosure of CO2 emissions, community complaints, and work safety on Financial Distress. Financial Distress is measured using the Altman Z Score and operational cash flow adequacy. This study uses age and company size as control variables. The sample of this study is manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange from 2018-2021. This study uses the Common Effect Model (CEM) and Random Effect Model (REM). The results of the research show Disclosure of CO2 emissions, community complaints, occupational safety has no significant effect on financial distress. However, firm age and firm size have a significant positive effect on the adequacy of the firm’s operating cash flow.

The influence of the guidance on building a green financial system on environmentally friendly firms’ total factor productivity in China

With China's proposed green development strategy, environmental protection investment needs are growing exponentially, and government funding alone is inadequate to meet the massive demand. To encourage social investment in green industries and achieve green development goals, the authorities implemented the major green finance policy entitled the Guidance on Building a Green Financial System (GBGFS) in late 2016. Whether this policy effectively promotes the development of environmentally friendly (EF) firms is an essential under investigated question. This study employs a difference-in-differences approach to explore whether and how the GBGFS affects EF firms' total factor productivity (TFP) with a sample from 2012 to 2021. Our benchmark regression and robustness tests demonstrate that the GBGFS effectively promotes EF firms' TFP. We also obtain three notable research findings with a number of additional analyses. (a) Although there is a certain lag, the policy effect was obviously enhanced with the passage of time. (b) Our threshold effect analyses reveal that the enhancing effect of the GBGFS on EF firms' TFP only becomes significant when research and development (R&D) investment, profitability (ROA), and government subsidies (GSF) exceed certain values. Further analysis demonstrates that firms with higher ROA and more GSF can effectively increase R&D. (c) Finally, GBGFS implementation has a greater impact on firm TFP in China's more developed region than its less developed regions. The findings suggest that regulatory authorities should persist in enforcing the GBGFS policy and encourage corporate R&D investment. In addition, the central government should design targeted policies based on the characteristics of different regions to improve the policy effect.

Factors Influencing the Intentions of Young People to Develop Image with Intellectual Property in Residence: A Case Study of Green City Development

In China, green industries have been developed under an important policy for promoting economic restructuring. Various regions have successively developed green cities. This study was conducted to develop a green marketing model to introduce an intellectual property (IP) of the image into green and sustainable development. A literature review result revealed that the behavioral intentions (BI) of popular groups and grasping the needs of core consumer groups were essential. The unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) and the model of comprehensive encouragement were combined to formulate a new model for examining young people’s willingness to use urban images with IP. The new model was then used to design a questionnaire, collect data, test research hypotheses, and the effects of relevant factors on the perceptions of urban IP image by young people was explored. The findings presented that (1) intrinsic reward (IR) and extrinsic reward (ER) positively and significantly affected the BI of young people and (2) BI played a mediating role between IR/ER and behavior (B). Recommendations were proposed regarding the direction of the development of urban IP images for green cities.

Jointing quality effort and contract decision in green agri-food supply chain based on differential game

PurposeThe managerial questions of this paper are as follows, and the authors are trying to solve them: How revenue sharing contract (CSR) degree and government subsidy affect the agri-food quality? What kind of model (WPC, revenue-sharing contract [RSC] and cooperative) would be more effective in motivating manufacturers and retailer to increase effort and improve agri-food quality? What kind of model (WPC, RSC and cooperative) would make manufacturer and retailer better off?Design/methodology/approachConsidering the jointing quality effort and contract decision in green agri-food supply chain, this paper proposes six models that consider CSR of manufacturer and retailer, and then the obtained optimal solutions are compared and analyzed. At the same time, the impact of government subsidies is analyzed, and corresponding conclusions are drawn.FindingsThe results show that, first of all, whether the increasing CSR of the manufacturer or the retailer can motivate both parties to improve the agri-food quality effort investment. Second, the WPC and RSC contract may play different role in different cases. Finally, under the model with government subsidies, regarding positive influence of government subsidies on efforts of manufacturer and retailer, quality and profits of members is investigated. Based on these conclusions, this study puts forward the following policy suggestions. Firstly, governments should formulate reasonable subsidy policies to support manufacturer and retailer to improve the agri-food quality, thereby promoting green industries' development. Secondly, manufacturer and retailer should actively improve CSR and strengthen the effort of agri-food so as to advance quality. Finally, manufacturer and retailer can choose cooperative model or WPC contract.Research limitations/implicationsIn this paper, one manufacturer and one retailer are considered. Since the agri-food supply chain structure in reality is more complicated, the future research direction can consider the supply chain structure with one manufacturer and multiple retailers. In addition, this paper only considers the subsidy, and future research can classify the subsidy into different types.Originality/valueThe study makes two substantive contributions to the body of knowledge in the field of sustainable operations:(1) incorporating quality-based demand function in supply chain and dynamic process of agri-food quality; (2) exploring the impact of CSR awareness of members and subsidy of government on agri-food quality, and comparing the influence in different models.
